Chapter 4: The Saviour
Blaze flickered as the bright light drove into her eyes. She never felt so tired in her life before and that made here restless and powerless and yet free. She didn't mind that the world was at chaos or almost met its ends, all she wanted was to, stay… in this condition.
Her shoulder was shook gently, but Blaze didn't response. The second time was rougher and that made her sprang back.
"What? Who's there?" she glowered dangerously. The light was too bright to make her see anything. She steadied her hand up against her forehead to hold back the light as much as possible but it was worthless. The light was blazing if blinding was not the perfect word to describe it.
As a thief, she quickly absorbed her thief senses and that includes the voice in her heart. The air taste humid, cold but not wet. Loud sounds of chirping cricket indicated that she was in a forest. Since her eyes are no use to her now, Blaze decided to leave her trust on her other senses but unfortunately, it was no use at all. A thief would be useless without his or her eyes.
If only I was the Great Orion. He's the only one who could do this stuff.
She then heard laughter, almost like the frantic sound of the bells, ringing. These made her turn white.
Am I hearing things? Am I in heaven? Is that an angel? Oh, god! I am dead!
"No silly. You are not dead in fact you are as healthy as an ox. Wait, is it fox or ox?"
That voice again. Did she just read my mind?
Suddenly, she felt someone pinched her hand. As she can't see the surroundings or anyone in front of her, she quickly jumped aback, holding a dagger aimlessly that was hidden safely under her cloak.
"See? You can feel that. Now, stop thinking you are dead! Now, now…Put away that dagger. We won't hurt you. How about thanking us instead that we had save your skin and bones from breaking." This time, it was a young male voice, rather husky and steady than the first one.
"Stop being such a meany! Of course she is scared. She can't see us you, idiot! Open that silly scarf of yours off her! She won't harm us"
Blaze felt a rough, large hand untying a knot behind her back.
"There, happy? Now stop struggling!"
A couple of seconds later, she could see the surroundings again. She was in a forest. Withered leaves were everywhere on the ground. The trees were bare revealing its thin trunks and branches. The earth felt tired and worn because of its colour. It made her skin creep to see a hurtful view.
A small girl about six years younger than her was smiling widely, ear to ear. Her body glowed dimly as if the moon light was shining on her. Her ears were a little bit pointed and her long auburn hair was tied loosely and she looked beautiful in the autumn red dress. It wasn't really a dress, it's somehow like the leaves was put together to look just like a dress. Her eyes opened widely, aghast of the being in front of her.
"You..a-a-a…forest fairy?"
She chuckled. "Yes, and this is your saviour, my brother!"
She pulled the person behind her and dragged him in front, who resist walking forward.
"This is my brother, Sphinx. He is the one who do most of the saving part while I carry- the stuff. He likes to do all the weird work," she wriggled her finger like a wizard casting a spell. When she spoke the last phrase, Blaze realized that the small fairy was eying her brother carefully.
"Yeah, whatever! I was around when you clumsily fell from that tree. You should consider eating less cos' you ain't heavy to carry" He smirked at this trying to hold back his laughter. His sentences dribbled with sarcasm, of course but Blaze was too angry to notice. His blue-grey eyes twinkled together. It was rather annoying.
I am not clumsy! And excuse me, I am not fat!
"Oh, yes you are!" replied the green male fairy, roguishly. The smirk was still glued at its place. The male fairy was quite tall, taller than her about a few inches. She could make out that he has a strong figure with the same auburn hair like his sister. His eyes are grey- blue as to forget - me – not. He was rather good looking but somehow, Blaze was too annoyed to care.
"Stop reading my mind! It's highly, confidentially, totally, extremely, private!" Blaze scrunched her eyebrows, feeling rather cautious and uncomfortable.
"Sphinx! Stop it!" growled his sister. She stomped on her brother's feet who later skidded away to avoid her rage.
Blaze pictured a door in her brain was locked securely. She didn't know what made her thought of that but she did anyway.
Blaze stood up while brushing off some dirt on her cloak. She whirled around to check whether the locket was safely in her pocket. Strings of hair fell under the hood which covered most part of her eyes.
Stupid long hair! Wait a minute…Where's the locket? Oh, God, not again!
"Looking for something? Perhaps this?" a locket shone brightly in his hands. Blaze pursed her lips as she quickly marched in front of him and grabbed the locket roughly.
"Hey, did you just close your mind? Are you a fairy too or something?"
"Thank you and no, I am not a fairy. And yet…good…You can't read my mind anymore. Serves you right" said Blaze in gritted teeth, looking him right in the eye. Somehow, his eyes, shuddered her. Her anger faded as shifted to the small fairy, chuckling beside that annoying being called 'Sphinx'.
"I am sorry. What's your name?" asked Blaze. This time, she completely ignored the gaze of her annoying 'saviour' who was rather shocked of her mood swings. He shook his head slightly and began to walk away, grabbing some colourful bottles scattered on the ground.
"Saffron…You?" replied the small fairy. She raised and eyebrow when it took Blaze a moment to reply.
Should I tell the truth?
"Bla…sorry" Blaze pretended to coughed. "Blaine. It is Blaine"
Stupid! Stupid! Any fool could figure out that I am lying.
Nevertheless, Blaze maintained her composure and tried not to reveal her expression.
Saffron seemed to just smile and to Blaze amazement, she didn't suspect anything.
Phew! Close call…
Blaze congratulated herself.
"What? Blaine? Isn't that a male human's name?" he asked suspiciously.
"Why? You got a problem with that, buddy?" she asked dangerously to the voice behind her. Her eyes shifted to the tall figure.
That annoying smirks again. Wipe it will you?
"No..Nothing…Just pointing my thoughts out loud. Why are you disguising as a boy, anyway" asked Sphinx changing the subject.
"None of your -…"
Someone in the shadows behind her said, "I believe I just caught you two skipping classes. So, what is the excuse this time?"
"It better not be the 'I had lost again'" said the small voice, chuckling.
Blaze whirled around and covered her mouth, truly shocked.
Could she be…?
